GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
New YORK, April 12.-The London
market for American stocks this morning
came very strong and active, and under
the impetus Of foreign buying orders,
the market was higher and strong. The
result Was a somewhat feverish and IN
settled market until later in the day,
when buving became more general and
more decidedly firm tone was impaired
to the dealings. The strength in
in stocks was stimulated by he reports
of the non-agreement of leased lines
to combine against reorganization. The
opening was strong at advances ranging
up to : per cent, latter in Louisville and
Nashville. There was active trading,
with Reading and Omaha most prom
inent, and while the latter was conspcu-
ously strong the general list yielded
fractional amounts Later Jersey Cen
trail and Wheeling and Lake Erie became
strong and the general list responded, the
early losses being recovered before noon.
A buOyant tone marked the dealings
in the afternoon and New England, Lou
isville and Nashville and Norfolk and
Western, preferred, joined the strong
and active stocks. There was again
fractional reaction, but the market closed
about steady, close to the opening fig
ures.
Railroad bonds were quiet in the fore5
noon, but became decidedly active later
in the day, when also quotations yielded
freely. The closing prices show irregular
changes about equally divided.
Government bonds dull and steady.

DR.. McGIynn snubbed.

CINCINNATI,O., April l2-Dr. McGlynn
arrived this morning. Some of his friends
desired to introduce him to the represent
tstive business men of the chamber OF
commerce, and to that end asked Major
John Byrne Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
road to make the introduction. Major
Byrne declined, saying that as Catholic
loyal to the precepts snd authority of his
church he had no sympathy with DR..
McGlynn's position, and that as q good

An Assault on Democracy.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 12.-The
sixth annual banquet of the young Re
publicans of Philadelphia was given at
the ST. George hall last night and was
largely attended. Ex-Governor John S.
Wise of Virginia was the guest of the
evening. In responding to the toast he
made vigorous attack upon the Demo
cratic party. In overhauling its record
he said the Democratic party had failed
10 carry out it's pledges to repeal the in
ternal revenue laws, had defeated
the Blair educational measure after pie g-
ing itself to its passage, and won power
by its assault on the surplus, yet il had
piled up larger surplus than ever. 1t
had passed a law of interstate
commerce so bad that its own
commission is forced to suspend
it's operations to avoid q panic and a
business stampede. The Republican
party, if it would win, he said, must cease
stalking it's all on New York. Virginia is
-publican-eleven counties, with l20, 900
white and but $4,000 blacks, gave an
aggregate vote of 10000 and 8 Republi-
can majority of over 1000. Indiana no
more has Hendricks and Mcdonald to
lead. One is dead, the other snubbed.
West Virginia is Republican. Tennessee
and North Carolina are ready to come.
Let US devote one-tenth of the energy
and means on them that has gone to New
York in the past and the victory IS ours.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
ATCHIsON, KAN, April l2.-No less
than fifteen persons have been burned to
death by the prairie fires which started
near Ntc0demGs, Graham county. They
have swept northwest on an air line into
Norton county, destroying everything in
their path which, in places, is from two
and 8 half to seven miles wide, forming
great roaring sea of fame, TOllidg in ire
ueEdOus sheets under the impetus Of q
high wind which prevailed all day Satur-
day and saturday night. Starting on the
south fork Of solomon river in Graham
county, the fire swept north 10 the north
fork, winch it crossed at Edmond, on the
Central Branch Railroad in Norton county,
and at last accounts was still sweeping
towards the northeast, djagonally across
Norton county in the direction OF Deca-
tur, the adjoining county on the west,
carrying oestru ;tion and death in its
path. Thousands of head Of stock of
ali kinds have been burned. Thou
sands Of tons of hay, corn, wheat, and
from 90 to l75 houses and barbs have
been destroyed. The people living along
the line of the fire have been left home
less and destitute. II is impossible as
yet to learn the names of those who per-
ished in the h1mes. Tremendous excite
ment prevails all through the burnt dis
triCt.
The burnt district extends distance of
sixty miles in length by twO-and-a-haltsto
seven in width and the fire still spreaAin g
west and northwest. 4 large number of
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs haze been
destroyed and considerable Suffering
among the people exists on account of
the fires. Relief will be forwarded to
them at once from the towns east of the
fire line T1e fire is still raging furiOCsly
and the people along its path are terror
stricken The destruction Of telegraph
poles and wires between Greenleaf and
Edmond prevents the obtaining OF further

MISNOMERS OF THE MAPS.
One of Our Drawbacks is Nonsensica
Nomenclature

One of Our Drawbacks is Nonsensical
Nomenclature
Bishop Coke, writing in the September
Forum of American Geographical Names, ="
scolds in these words:
The disposition to repudiate or repeat is in
itself injurious to the popular mind; it i'm
poverishes, robs us of our resources and
creates a habit of beggarly imitation. Look
at the post office list of "Franklins, Pixies"
and ''Washingtons. Then we have "Pike-
ville,n North Pike" "South Pike" pike
Centre" east Pike" and "West Pike"
Why not Turnpike" and "PickerelP' The
odious terminal "ville" is worn to shreds
Our language furnishes us with many very
graceful endings for such uses. OF these
Miss Cooper gives us a good store with di-
rections for use, in her charming Rural
Hours" The Saxon, Danish and Norman
endings to be found in English Geography
are happily instanced; and surely Mr..
Shocks would be as well pleased to have his
village called ''Snooksby," or "Snooks-
bury or ''Snookham," or "Snookswyck, :"
or "Snookschamp,n or "Snooksdell," or
"Glensnooks,n or simple "Snooks" by itself
as to see it lettered at the railway station,
with overcoming poverty of invention as
''Snooksville. "
The worst of it is that we borrow termin-
aUlOn WlUn SHOCKING COnUeIHpU VI prOpIleUy,
suffixing mont to a patronymic like
"Dick" where there is neither mount nor
ant-hill to justify it. We have "Dovedale"
where there is neither dale nor dove; and
over and over again such forms as Dart
mouth" where there is no Dart and no
mouth-in short, no river, and, of course,
no mouth of river to suggest IL. We have
''cliff'' where all is dead level; and ''plain"
even plain"-where all the scenery
is mountainous
Probably the worst of our follies, on
practical grounds, is the application of
''Washingtonn to an enormous Territory,
soon to be admitted as State. One would
think the final ton" sufficiently indicative
of town or city to be left to the grand use
it so well deserves in the name of the Ma
tional capital. But no; after peppering the
maps with this noble name, and making it a
bv-word in its senseless recurrence always,
everywhere, and adj nauseam, for noun
tains, hills, wales, villages, country corners,
and favorite racing stations, it must now
be pulled out, like a coverlet, and spread
over the boundless wilderness.

HUNTING FOR FROGS.
How the Croakers are Speared and
Served up by Wisconsin Epicures.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel

From the Mit,raukee Sentinel.
Ever go frogging: No! Well, you
ought to go. Talk about a deer. They're
no wilder than ripe frog. You have
to be very cunning. like the early morn
ing best for spearing. Getting in boat,
am padded noiselessly around the grassy
shores of some lake, where | find the frogs
blinking their big, watery eyes, just pre-
paratory to going to rest for the day. The
frog is a night bird, you know, and many
persons, especially those who hunt them for
market, go frogging by lantern light.
Sometimes they wade along the shores slow
ly, but the best way is to use a boat and
jack-light. You can go more Silly and al
ways have better success"
The reporter dropped into a popular
downtown restaurant a few days later and
just in time to hear gentleman in sporting
attire exclaim:
"Ah there, Charley, dozen frogs will be
about my size to-day"
= The reporter sought the chef.
"Who eat frog legsr repeated he. "Well,
you see. the sporting people are particularly
fond of them. In fact they are eaten by
Americans generally, although it was
originally French dish, as we all know,
and so distinctively so that France became
popularity styled the nation of frog eaters.
To stigmatize Frenchman as a frog-eater
has come to be an ancestral chestnut. Very
few Germans will eat them | don't know
whether it is because of any squeamishness
or whether they dislike frogs, just because
their hated neighbors, the French, make so
much of them. Whatever the reason, they
won't eat them. Our Milwaukee frog
supply is obtained from the little
lakes, marshes and creeks over the
State, and Wisconsin is great
frog State. Just now the receipts of hams
are quite large from Muslsego, Boscobel and
Prairie du Chen. The supply is larger this
year than last, but it is still much short of
the demand, as SO many more people calls
for them. Big frog legs measure from
eight to ten inches in length, and for this
size we pay from Soc. to 81 20 dozen. We
dish them out at from 81 20 to 81 so a
dozen, and fix them up so that seven legs
make dozen. At this size they will run
about six legs to the pound. We pay from
Soc to Coo. a dozen for the smaller ones. and
get from 75c. to Soc. for them on the table
We are going, to have some monsters in to-
morrow. They are on their way, and wish
you would call in and see them"
"How do you prepare them"
"There is only one way to dish up frogs,
and that is to fry them like oysters, in a
batter of cornmeal and eggs. They mustn't
be too well cooked, and if just right, a more
tempting dish was never set before an cpl
cure. They are such great delicacy, too.
Why, we have numerous calls from inva-
lids for frogs legs, who say such a diet has
been prescribed by the attending physician.
A sick person can eat, enjoy and digest a
dish of frogs, when any other meat you
might name would produce almost mortal
agony or very harmful results"
